The formation of hydraulically isolated compartments along hard-linked strike-slip faults promotes: (1) the development of Liesegang bands in a reaction zone dominated by pore-water molecular diffusion of O 2 into Fe 2+-rich stagnant water, and (2) the precipitation of iron-oxide impregnations and concretions in the fault-core–mixed zone ...
